Not to be outdone by the Airs or the Display, the new mini also packs Thunderbolt technology as well as twice the processor and graphics performance of the previous Mac minis, all packed in the same aluminium design.

The standard model will pack a 2.3GHz processor with 2GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD. Or you can opt for a 2.5GHz processor with 4GB of RAM. You can also bump up to 8GB, should your budget allow.

There's also a 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 Mac mini server edition loaded with Lion Server, 4GB of memory and dual 500GB hard drives, which can also be upgraded to 8GB, two 750GB hard drives, or up to two 256GB SSDs.
